46 |About how an earthly king does not accept gifts from people who are disgusting or impure. So how much more is God disgusted with impure gifts; but rather he rejects (the giver) with wrath, and he does not accept the gifts. Word "42."|

"|Listen, my people, and give heed to the utterance of my lips!| If to an earthly king someone should bring some kinds of gifts, if he is thinking treachery in his heart, and the king perceives it, will he not be angry with |him? And will he not spurn| his gifts?

And will he not hand him over for judgment? *If any person seduces another person into untruth by fair speech, but his heart is evil, will he not be conscious |of the treachery| of his heart, and (will he not) judge himself in himself, whether or not his judgment be true |how his untruthfulness is obvious to everyone|?

And when the LORD sends out the great light, in that (light) there will be true judgment, without favoritism, for true and untrue alike; and no one will be able to hide himself then.

47 |Enoch instructs his sons from God's lips; and he hands over to them these handwritten books. Word "43."|

"And now, my children, place the thought on your hearts, and give heed to the sayings of your father which I am making known to you from the lips of the LORD. *And receive these books in your father's handwriting, and read them. |For the books are many;| and in them you will learn all the deeds of the LORD. there have been many books since the beginning of creation, and there will be until the end of the age; but not one of them will make things as plain to you as 〈the books in〉 my handwriting. If you hold on firmly to them, you will not sin against the LORD.

For there is no other besides the LORD, neither in heaven, nor on the earth, nor in the deepest places, nor in the one foundation.

The LORD is the one who laid the foundations upon the unknown things, and he is the one who spread out the heavens above the visible and the invisible things. And the earth he solidified above the waters, and the waters he based upon the unfixed things; and he (alone) created the uncountable creatures. |And| who is it who has counted the dust of the earth or the sand of the sea of the drops of rain of the dew 〈of the clouds〉 or the blowing of the wind?

Who is it who has plaited the land and the sea together with indissoluble bonds, and cut the stars out of fire, and decorated the sky and put in the midst of them*

48 |About the solar movement along the seven circles. Word "44."|

"* the sun, so that he might travel along the seven celestial circles, which are appointed with 182 thrones so that he might descend to the shortest day, and once more 182 so that he might descend to the longest day.

He also has two great thrones where he pauses when he turns around in this direction and in the other direction, higher than the lunar thrones. From the month Tsivan, from the 17^th day, he descends until the month Theved; and from the 17^th day of Theved he ascends.

And in this way the sun moves along all the celestial circles. When he comes close to the earth, then the earth is merry and makes its fruit grow. But when he goes away, then the earth laments, and the trees and all fruits have no productivity. All this is by measurement, and by the most precise measurement of the hours. He fixed it by measure, by his own wisdom, 〈that is everything〉 visible and invisible. *From the invisible things and the visible things he created all the visible things; |and| he himself is invisible.

Thus I am making it known to you, my children; |and| you must hand over the books to your children, and throughout all your generations, 〈and to (your) relatives〉, *and |among| all nations who are discerning so that they may fear God, and so that they may accept them. And they will be more enjoyable than any delightful food on earth.

And they will read them and adhere to them. *But those who are undiscerning and who do not understand 〈|the LORD|〉 neither fear God nor accept them, but renounce them, and regard themselves as burdened by them * |a terrible judgment is awaiting them|. *Happy is |the person| who puts their yoke on and carries it around; for he will plow on the day of the great judgment.

49 |Enoch teaches his sons not to use an oath, neither by heaven nor by earth. And he points out the covenant of God, while they are even in their mother's womb. Word "45."|

"For I am swearing to you, my children * But look! I am not swearing by any oath at all, neither by heaven nor by earth nor by any other creature which the LORD created. For 〈|the LORD|〉 said, *There is no oath in me, nor any unrighteousness, but only truth.' So, if there is no truth in human beings, then let them make an oath by means of the words *Yes, Yes!' or, if it should be the other way around, *No, No!'

And I make an oath to you * *Yes, Yes! * that even before any person was in his mother's womb, individually a place I prepared for each soul, as well as a set of scales and a measurement of how long he intends him to live in this world, so

that each person may be investigated with it. *Yes, children, do not deceive yourselves; |for| ahead of the time a place has been prepared there for each human soul.

50 |About how no one can hide himself who is born on the earth; nor can his achievement be kept secret. But he commands to be meek, to endure assaults and insults, and not to harm widows and orphans. Word "46."|

"I have set down the achievements of each person in the writings, and no one can 〈|hide himself|〉 who is born on the earth, nor |can| his achievement be kept secret. I see everything, as if in a mirror.

Now therefore, my children, in patience and meekness abide for the number of your days, so that you may inherit the final endless age that is coming.

Every assault and every persecution and every evil               word |endure for the sake of the LORD|. *If the injury and persecution happen to you on account of the LORD, then endure them all for the sake of the LORD. And if you are able to take vengeance with a hundredfold revenge, do not take vengeance, neither on one who is close to you nor on one who is distant from you. For the LORD is the one who takes vengeance, and he will be the avenger for you on the day of the great judgment, so that there may be no acts of retribution here from human beings, but only form the LORD.

Let each one of you put up with the loss of 〈his〉 gold and silver on account of a brother, so that he may receive a full treasury in that age.

*Widows and orphans             and foreigners |do no distress, so that God's anger does not come upon you;|*
